We looked around and saw a downward staircase appear in the hole exposed under the coffin.

Lantern Xiao looked into the cave, "How many are left down this ancient tomb?" We're going deep into the ocean now! ”

The light of our flashlight shines on the black rocks, reflecting a dark cyan glow.

"It seems that there is a cave under this island!" Yuan An said, and then walked in.

Lantern Xiao looked at us, "Then let's go in too, shall we?" Seeing that I was a little hesitant, he said, "Well, I'll go first to see, if you don't want to go in, just wait here for a while." After speaking, Lantern Xiaoyi's short body also followed in.

I looked at the second uncle, "Second uncle, shall we go in then?" ”

The second uncle looked at me and sighed, "Eldest nephew, I sometimes regret that I shouldn't have led you into the inverted bucket industry, but sometimes it's fate!" ”

I said, "Forget the second uncle, I am curious and willing to follow." You're right, maybe that's fate. But let's talk about these things after we go out, do you think we should go in and have a look? ”

The second uncle smiled bitterly, "The matter has come to this, do we still have a way to retreat now, we can only run one way to the dark!" ”

I nodded, "That's just as well!" Let's go! ”

So my second uncle and I also got into the hole and followed Yuan An and Lantern Xiao in front.

The steps go down until they are engulfed in darkness below. The sides of the stone steps are also pitch black, and all we can see is the road underfoot, and walking in such a place is like walking in a time and space tunnel. Let me be in a trance, maybe, will we cross? Could it be that we will find that the end of the road is actually the ruins of Qilian Mountain? After walking for so long, in fact, we just came full circle?

We went down like this for a long time, and I even began to imagine that we would go all the way to the depths of the earth.

In such a place, the flashlight in our hands is very limited, and the darkness around us can easily swallow up the light.

Lantern Xiao took out two glow sticks from her bag, lit them up, and threw them down from both sides of the stone steps.

The two glow sticks fell straight down, getting smaller and smaller, and finally turned into two small points of light, disappearing into the darkness.

I stood on the stone steps, and when I saw this, my legs went limp, and I almost sat on the ground. It turned out that there was an abyss on both sides of the stone steps, and I noticed that the stone steps were really not wide, only about one meter. Once you stumble, I'm afraid you will really fall to death.

I walked up the stone steps in horror for a long time, "Where are we going?" I couldn't help but ask.

What makes me a little strange is that no one answered me, I feel that since I went down to this stone step, everyone has become a little different, even the usually talkative Lantern Festival is no longer poor at this time, he frowned, as if he was worried about something.

The second uncle in the back patted me on the shoulder, "There are some things that have to be faced when you have to face them." ”

I looked at my second uncle in surprise, "What do you mean to face it, I don't want to face this, don't worry, I won't mix this kind of thing in the future." ”

The second uncle shook his head with a wry smile, "Let's go first!" I don't think it's too far away. ”

We walked up the stone steps for a while, and finally we walked up to the flat ground, which looked like a mountain cave, but it was very large.

The surrounding cave walls are uneven and rocky, and it seems that this place is completely natural, without any traces of artificial excavation.

The most bizarre thing is that as soon as we enter here, we can hear a strange sound, like the sound of the wind blowing through the cracks.

Lantern Xiao looked around, "What kind of sound is this?" No one could answer him.

Yuan An, who was at the front, suddenly found something, "Come!" Look at this! ”

We hurried over and saw a strange thing in front of us. The black one said that it was not square, and it was not round, as if a big silkworm chrysalis was placed there, and I couldn't help but get goosebumps when I saw it.

"What is this?" I asked with some curiosity, and then looked at the Lantern Festival on the side, who shrugged at me, saying that he didn't know either.

The second uncle and Yuan An looked a little excited, and the second uncle reached out and touched this strange thing, "I didn't expect the legend to be true, this thing is really in the hands of Qin Shi Huang!" ”

Yuan An also nodded, "I don't know how many artifacts this Yingzheng has obtained." ”

I opened my mouth and asked, "Second uncle, what is this?" ”

The second uncle smiled, "This is a treasure, have you ever heard of such a thing?" ”

I nodded, "I know this, I've seen it in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and according to legend, Kui is a one-legged monster." But that's all myths and legends! ”

The second uncle said: "I originally thought it was just something made up by the ancients, but until now, with living evidence in front of us, I didn't know that there was really such a divine beast in this world." ”

I looked at the black thing in front of me, "Could it be that this thing is Kui?" ”

Yuan An pointed to the thing in front of us and said, "There is Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea, which enters the sea for 7,000 miles. There is a beast on it, like an ox, with a pale body and no horns, and one foot, and if it enters and exits the water, it will be stormy, and its light is like the sun and the moon, and its sound is like thunder, and its name is called Kui. Legend has it that this Kui is a sacred beast born with heaven and earth, there are only three left in ancient times, one was captured by the Yellow Emperor, with its skin as a drum, with its bone as a mallet, the sound boom is 500 miles to break the Chi You. The second was captured by Qin Shi Huang, but unfortunately he didn't have the merits of the Yellow Emperor, and he couldn't make such a divine drum. But he made something else out of Kui's body. ”

I immediately understood what Yuan An meant, "You mean, Qin Shi Huang made a coffin out of Kui's body?" ”

"That's right!" Yuan An nodded, "The coffin made of the skin is claimed to be able to make people incorruptible for thousands of years, and has the effect of fixing the shape. ”

"Shaped?" Lantern Xiao asked, "What do you mean?" ”

The second uncle replied: "Stereotyping refers to maintaining the shape and condition of the body inside and outside the body when it just died, and it will remain unchanged for ten thousand years."

My eyes widened when I heard this, "Second Uncle, according to you, if someone in ancient times was put into this kind of coffin after death, then thousands of years have passed, and now medical technology has developed, which means that this person is still possible to be rescued?" ”

The second uncle smiled and nodded, "Theoretically, there is such a possibility, but who knows." ”

I pointed to the leather coffin in front of me and asked, "And who is buried here?" ”

Lantern Xiao checked the appearance of the coffin, "It doesn't matter who he is, let's open it first!" "This coffin is not sealed with a lid like ordinary coffins, and this coffin is not square, so it still uses a coffin lid to seal the coffin mouth.

After the Lantern Festival finished speaking, he squatted down and reached out to untie the leather rope used to fix the upper cover, I wanted to go up to help, but I was pulled by the second uncle and shook his head gently at me.

I was very puzzled and just wanted to ask why, but the second uncle made a silent gesture to me. I looked at Yuan An next to me, and the latter quietly took two steps back.

The performance of the second uncle and Yuan An obviously shows that they already know that this coffin is in danger, but why would they stand by while watching Lantern Festival make a mistake!

Ignoring the second uncle's obstruction, I wanted to open my mouth to warn of the danger of the Lantern Festival, but Yuan An next to me covered my mouth and pulled me to the side in the darkness. Although these two people are not young, they still have a lot of strength, and I can't break free for a while, I can only make a "whine" sound.

Lantern Xiao didn't seem to notice the situation on our side at all, and reached out to untie the leather rope of the coffin, and in an instant, the leather cover that was originally covering the mouth of the coffin was turned over at once, and then a strange sound came out of the coffin, like a sneeze.

I secretly screamed, there is something strange in this coffin! Not only me, but I obviously felt that the bodies of the second uncle and Yuan An were also shocked, and it seemed that the situation in this coffin was also beyond their surprise.

Lantern Xiao's nerves are a little big, if I encounter such a situation, I will definitely turn around and run, but he is different, Lantern Xiao's first reaction is not to leave quickly, but to stretch out his head to look inside the coffin.

At the moment when Lantern Xiao had just probed, a snow-white arm suddenly stretched out from the coffin and grabbed Lantern Xiao's neck.

As soon as I saw this scene, I struggled even more, I desperately tried to break free from the control of Yuan An and my second uncle, and at this moment, there was a "bang" and a gunshot rang out. The arm in the depths of the coffin was snapped off from the wrist at once. Lantern Xiao suddenly broke free and fell to the ground.

I was startled by the sudden gunshot, and following the reputation, I saw several figures running quickly from the way we came, and I was no stranger to the person in the front, it was Zhou Cheng!

At this time, Zhou Cheng was holding a large-caliber rifle in his hand, this was the gun just now, and one shot broke the wrist of the thing in the coffin. Zhou Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to help up the Lantern Festival, "How is it?" Young master, are you alright? ”

Lantern Xiao rubbed his neck, his face still looked red at this time, Lantern Xiao coughed a few times, and let out a long breath, "Damn!" What the hell is this! ”

Before Lantern Xiao's words fell, the arm with the severed hand stretched out of the coffin again, Zhou Cheng protected Lantern Xiao behind him, raised his rifle and aimed it at the coffin, and was about to shoot, when a voice suddenly shouted: "Don't shoot!" ”

Following the direction from which the voice came, I saw several black-clothed people protecting a person walking over, and when I got closer, I saw the face of this person clearly, it was none other than Lantern Xiao's father, one of the current leaders of the Tang family, Tang Shaodong!

Seeing Tang Zhendong appear and come over, I heard the second uncle next to me snort coldly.
